See a dermatologist: This sounds like a more complicated issue that can be solved by recommending more otc products. See a professional and get this fully evaluated.

Consider Accutane: Accutane may be beneficial in reducing the amount of oil gland activity but this will require prescription and close supervision by a dermatologist.

Exfoliating scrub: Try exfoliating scrubs containing aha/glycolic acid or bha/salicylic acid along with a loofah to get better cleansing. (ie: neutrogena body wash with salicylic acid).
